Hyunwoo's POV

"Please break up with him." Minhyuk continued.

Minhyuk. Please. Not that word.

I wet my lips before responding. "I know you would say that."

"So why you're still keeping this special bond of you two?" Minhyuk asked with a raised brow.

"Min, I understand you're not supporting same sex relationship but, I love Kihyun so much and you just can't tell me what I have to do with him. Please do understand me." I pleaded as I took steps towards him.

"I'm not expecting you to do it in a snap but if you can't leave Kihyun immediately..." He paused. "...then see how I disappear from your life."

With that, Minhyuk ended the discussion and left. I brushed my hair up from frustrations as I sat and leaned back in my chair. He was seriously ending my happiness just like that. How can he say that easily? Couldn't he understand me?

I hadn't seen Minhyuk after that conversation, or should I say, we avoided each other for the rest of the day.

Ignoring each other's existence continued day after day. This condition was too much for me and it lead me to remember the old days. When we're studying together, Minhyuk often rehashed his opinions about gays. He switched channels on tv when some shows involving two men loving each other appeared on the screen. Until now, his eyes screw tightly shut whenever he spots gay couple at a distance. His hates about gay things were so clear but I didn't care much about it because it didn't concern me at all. Now that I have Kihyun, it felt like everything shouldn't be ignored . I wanted to convince him to change his perspective about this and just let Kihyun be by my side forever.

I tried to reach but Minhyuk kept holding on his own words. Yes, I have the choice of letting him out of my life but I couldn't. He played a very important role in my life since I lost my family and in every success I made, he's a part of it. He is like a loving brother to me, the only family I have right now so most of my decisions in my life, I make sure he knew about them.

So I can't lose them both. Fuck. What should I do?

I entered my office with the thoughts of Kihyun and it made me miss him so much more so I grabbed my phone and dialled his number. He picked up at the first ring and so we talk about how each other's day so far.

"I'm planning to do the grocery later and I might buy some for your place, too. You're running out of food stocks and other necessities!" He said later on.

"Then I can head out early so I can help you."

"No. It's okay. Focus on your work, I can handle everything myself. Don't worry."

"Are you sure?" I asked.

"Well, as much as I wanna see you, I don't wanna steal all your time from work. Minhyuk might scold you again. Psh. That ugly blondie scolding my baby." I felt antsy just by hearing Minhyuk's name.

"What time will you go out?"

"Before evening comes I guess, maybe at five pm?"

"Five pm? Okay noted."

"Yah! Don't make any plans of going here or else I'm gonna be mad at you."

"Hahaha okay I'm just---" I paused and got stiffened when I turned around and saw Minhyuk already in my office, sitting comfortably on the couch.

How long have he been there?

"Woo?" Kihyun called my attention back. I was hesitating to speak as Minhyuk was directly looking at me and listening to our conversation.
